subject Re: Can not boot
Hi Severin --
-- I just had a similar boot problem after installing 10.5.8. The
installation procedure went fine, giving me the Restart button. When I
pressed this, I just got the background picture with no top menu
(although the dock showed), no response to clicking anything in the
dock. Powering off and on my Intel iMac with the switch at the rear
gave the grey screen and spinning cog you describe.
-- I eventually got back on air by pulling out the power cord and
replacing. I don't know why I had the problem, it may be connected
with yours, maybe the same treatment may help?
Cheers --
